Roddenberry Jr. and Daley Discuss Star Trek and Human Destiny in LA on 11/2

Tad Daley will be live on stage in conversation with Gene Roddenberry Jr. — son of the legendary creator of Star Trek – on November 2.

Daley explains, “We’re NOT going to discuss whether warp drives and phasers-on-stun and ‘beam me up Scotty’ are real world possibilities. Our topic instead is how Star Trek, and many other non-dystopian works of science fiction page and screen, have portrayed a healthy and sustainable planet, the abolition of war, and the political unification of humankind.”

The event happens Saturday, November 2, from 4-6 pm at the Anagnos Peace Center, 3916 Sepulveda Boulevard in Culver City, CA.
